Mac Pro bound Xeon now available on New Egg...for only $2,749!

I am shackled to those Cinebench results as that's how I make my living...using CINEMA 4D for broadcast and theatrical work...IN THE REAL WORLD...
Which is why those numbers are troubling to me, and everyone else that I've talked to in my industry.
I'd gladly pay $7k for a dual CPU option, as would a lot of people that I work with.

The current Mac Pro 2.93 gets a 15.21 on cinebench... The new mac pro, that we've been waiting years for...scores 17.63. Apple should remove their 2x processing power from their product page for the new mac pro.
